From Google Maps reviews.
Just reopened. Looks like new management. The food doesnt taste as good as it used to and they've gotten more expensive. No longer the same friendly staff. They barely can communicate in English. Sucks because I waited 2 years for them to reopen and I will not be returning
Food is amazing and staff is absolutely awesome...i highly recommend this place if you enjoy hispanic food
Food is always good & consistent taste. Service rendered by any & all of the workers is always upbeat & welcoming. Prices are the most affordable in the area when it comes to spanish, Chinese or even deli options. The only caveat with this restaurant was always the ambience as it lacks a nice seating area & the garbage cans outside (right by entrance) makes it visually unappealing & inviting to pests.
